Re: Time? Where does it go?

[Glass Prison]

Grace~
I look at the clock and see it already eight-thirty. "Better get a move on." I say to Callie who lounged on a pillow in the hallway. I threw on a pair of blue jean shorts, a flowing white tank top with a light blue cut off sleeve, button down cotton shirt and left the buttons undone. I folded down the collar and rolled up the sleeves. I quickly blow dry my shoulder length hair and run a hand through it. Applying a small amount of make up, i grab my purse and favorite and pair of white flip-flops. "Maybe Hannah will like a surprise..." i murmur, walking out the door. In the garage, i climb into my hammidown(sp) bug and drive right into town. I had plenty of time to stop for a gift. I pull into the parking lot of a small thrift store and stroll in. Scanning the isles, i come across one of my own old favorite child books. I used to own it until mom gave it away. I had wrote my name in it and everything! "Rapunzel..." i say softly and flip through it. I come to the back cover and see faintly a child hand writing. "Grace Sulliven.." I say and laugh. It was mine! Over come with joy, i buy it and quickly drive back to Adams in time.

Adam~
running a hand over my chin and jaw I smirked and walk into my room and pulled on faded blue jeans and plain shirt then my work shirt, it was a pale blue with my name on the right and the name of the garage on the back. shaking my damp shaggy hair into place I grab my wallet and keys shoving them in my pocket. I jog back down the stairs to find Hannah laying on the couch upside down watching tv "kid what a re you doing?" I asked amused she smiled looking at me upside down "watching tv duh!"

[Glass Prison]

Grace~
I parked out front and hopped out. I locked the door and jogged up the steps. I was suddenly in a very happy mood, odd for me in the mornings lately. I rang the door bell and waited silently outside their door wondering what i could do with Hannah today.

[LoveOnHerArms]

Adam~
before I could answer the door Hannah jumped up "I got it!" she raced to the door and swings it open "Grace!" she threw her arms around her waist and hugged tightly "what are you doing here?!" she asked excitedly. I laughed and walk over to them "kid let her get through the door, hey Grace" I flashed her a smiled then peeled Hannah from her waist and picked her up "shes going to watch you while Im at work" Hannah sealed and hugged my neck "thank you Adam!"

[Glass Prison]

Grace~
The door flies open and i am attacked by a very happy Hannah. "Hey girlie." I laugh and wrap my arms around her. "Adam." I say returning the smile. I come in the door and stand off to the side. I take her hand and look back at Adam, "Yes, we are going to have loads of fun today!" I smile and watch him in the doorway.

[LoveOnHerArms]

Adam~
I chuckled and kissed Hannah head "your welcome kid" she wiggled and I put her down, she grabs hold of Grace's hand smiling big, you would think that it was Christmas with the way she was acting. I smirked and move out of the way so Grace could come in. Hannah pulled Grace in more bouncing with excitement "what are we doing today?!" I rolled my eyes and grab my boots and start lacing them up and looked over at Grace "don't forget that 'no' is in your vocabulary, and if she tells you something and it sounds crazy then don't do it" with that I stand up and smirked "have fun"

[Glass Prison]

Grace~
I walk to the door and placed a hand on it while the other clung to Hannah's little one. "Oh were gunna have fun, just you wait and see." I nod my head at Adam and smirk, "I know." We playfully push him out the door and i call "Bye!" before swinging it shut. I turn to her, "Well, for one thing. I got you something today. Its very special though."

[LoveOnHerArms]

Adam~
I smirked and laughed getting shoved out the door by then both "later!" I called then jump in my truck and drive to work. Hannah giggled and smiled big looking at her "really? what is it?" I asked with big blue eyes "I'll take care if it I promise" I pulled her into the living room bouncing with excitement

[Glass Prison]

Grace~
We plop down on the couch and i reach over to grab my bag. I pull out the worn book carefully and place it in her eager hands. "This book used to be mine, but my mama gave it away. I found it today on a shelf at a store. I know its mine because.." I pause to open the back cover and show her my sloppy, childish hand writing. "I wrote my name in it." I smiled watching her. "Rapunzel was my favorite princess.

[LoveOnHerArms]

Hannah~
sitting on the couch I looked at her waiting for it, I broke into a bright smile looking at the book listening I nodded and look at her name written in it "oh wow" I looked over the book then set it on the couch beside me and hugged her tightly "thank you oh thank you Grace!" I pulled away "Rapunzel is one of my favorite princess too!, will you read it?"

[Glass Prison]

Grace~
I watch her with a smile. "Your welcome darling." i say and reach around her to pick up the book. I lean back into the couch cushions and flip it open. In my best story teller voice, i begin to read..."A long time ago, a husband and wife lived happily in a cottage at the edge of a wood. But one day the wife fell ill. She could eat nothing and grew thinner and thinner. The only thing that could cure her, she believed, was a strange herb that grew in the beautiful garden next to their cottage. She begged her husband to find a way into the garden and steal some of this herb, which was called rapunzel...." reading the story started to bring back memories...."A year later, a baby girl was born and the witch did come and take her away. She told the couple they would be able to see their daughter in the garden behind their house. Over the years they were able to watch her grow up into a beautiful child, with long fair hair. The witch called her Rapunzel after the plant her father had come to take."

[LoveOnHerArms]

Hannah~
I smiled and snuggled into her side listening to the story


(and my brain died..)

[Glass Prison]

(Im starting to become that lol)

Grace~
I read with a smile on my face, "The prince took Rapunzel to his father's palace. where he told his story. Rapunzel was reunited with her parents who were overjoyed to see their daughter again. and a proclamation was made banning the witch from the kingdom. Then a grand wedding took place. Rapunzel married the prince and lived with him for many years. As for the witch. she was never seen again. The end." I finish the book and close it. "Well? Good story huh?" I laugh and stand up to stretch.

[LoveOnHerArms]

(yup XD)

Hannah~
I smiled big when she finished and nodded jumping up "yeah!" I push hair out of my face and looked at her "can we go to the beach later?" I asked rocking on my heels with big Bambi eyes that most the time worked on Adam

[Glass Prison]

Grace~
I chuckle, "Of course we can. And the pier with the fair rides, but i need to stop by my house though." I reach forward and tousle her hair. "Should we get your suit and some clothes?" i offer and start for the stairs.

[LoveOnHerArms]

Hannah~
I smiled big nodding "yeah!" giggling I nodded and fallow her up the stairs and into my room, pulling open a drawer I pulled out my suit then run around and grab some clean clothes

[Glass Prison]

Grace~
I lean against the door jam and watch her. "Ready?" I ask as i turn and start to walk down the stairs again. I slip on mu shoes and grab my bag. "is there a spare key?"

[LoveOnHerArms]

Hannah~
I stuff my clothes in my backpack and nodded "uh huh" I scramble after her down the stairs putting my backpack on then sit on the floor by the door and put my sandals on "yup its in the key bowl by the door" I say pointing to it from the floor then stand up

[Glass Prison]

Grace~
I peer into the bowl and pluck out the keys. "All set?" I ask as i help her up and open the door. We step out and i lock it behind me. I help her into the car, "Sorry, its a two seater so you have to ride in the front." i apologize then go to the driver's side and slide in. I start it up and head back to my house.

[LoveOnHerArms]

Hannah~
I smiled "yup" standing up with her help I walk outside and looked at her car, I skip after her and smiled big getting in "its ok, I don't mind" sitting up more so I could see out the window I push hair out of my face looking out the window

[Glass Prison]

Grace~
I parked out front and went around to let Hannah out. "Come along." I say and hold her hand as we go to the door. I unlock it and step in. My little pooch came running in and jumped all over her. "Down silly girl." I laugh and start heading for the stairs. I run up them and dig through my room until i find my suit and sigh. "This will be the last time ill be wearing you..." i whisper and cram it into a beach bag with a towel and sun screen. I grab a couple other things and head back down the stairs to Hannah.

[LoveOnHerArms]

Hannah~
looking at her house I push blond hair out of my eyes then scamper after Grace and hold her hand, fallowing her I looked around curiously "are you mommy and daddy home?" I asked then squealed as a dog jumps on me, I start giggling and pet her "a doggie!" I cried out happily and pet her as the dog licked my face. looking back at Grace when she came back down I smiled big "can you stay over tonight?" I asked excitedly

[Glass Prison]

Grace~
I smile as i come back to her side with the bag over my shoulder, "Down Callie." i say shove her over. I was just going into the kitchen as i call, "No, they are working." I search the frig for bottle of this special facial stuff my mom bought and toss it into the bag. "Like a sleep over?" I ask as we head back to the car. I help her in, thinking about the question. "Maybe.." I say once im in the driver's seat.

[LoveOnHerArms]

Hannah~
petting the dog as she walks back down I smiled big up at her then looked back at the dog "aww Callie is a cute name, I want a puppy but Adam says taking care of me is enough for right now", I nodded about her parents and keep petting Callie. I smiled big and nodded fallowing her back out to her car "uh huh!" siting in my seat I looked at her waiting, "ok" I said then looked out the window

[Glass Prison]

Grace~
I smile at her as we drive towards the fair dock. It was pretty busy for a week day. I found a tight parking spot and we both got out. I got the bags and swung them over my shoulders. "So, beach or rides first?" i ask her and start walking holding her little hand. It was a perfect day with warm sunshine and a gentle breeze.
